What Are You Reading? 2015
Finished
(and man was it good!). Starting
soon. Been wanting to read this for quite some time; something about repeatedly dating people with the same name is just too interesting not to pick up

I don't even know what to say about this one. I'm not really sure how I feel about it.

Oh no! That doesn't bode well...
Just read
for the R4R - quite enjoyed it....now re-reading
...in the mood for something familiar!Countdown on for
- God I hate that cover!
Mod
don't know what to think of it."I didn't like this one. I really wanted to but I just couldn't.
Mod
and so far it's intriguing. Although there was a bit too much about romance in the first 10%"I have this one. Hope it ends up alright."
Me, too!
Mod
and OMG. Just beautiful. It made my heart both weep and sing at the same time. My soul..."You just have to read it Donna. The writing is beautiful.

don't know what to think of it.""I would not say its not good. Depends on what you want this book to be. For me, its the concept is intriguing but plot developments are dumped on us without ceremony. Then there is your insufferable insta love. What's with YA and cliche. I am in chapter 17 and I have not given up yet.: D

Why don't you like it?
Finally had time to read
. Wowizer. That is why I hord books up until about book 7, or the series is finished. Cruel cliffhanger. I have to give props to Cole (view spoiler) Though until about 50 pages into the next book nothing from the cliffhanger can be taken at face value. So the sadness hasn't set in yet.
(view spoiler)
Has anyone read
? I'm 1/3 into the book and I'm bored, just wondering if it'll get better. Geez, maybe it's me!
Mod

Those are the best kind of books, Belkis. I remember that's how I was after reading The Bronze Horseman and it went on like that for years lol kept reading that book over and over again instead of picking something else up
Mod

Uh oh!! Good way or bad way??
Mod
don't know what to think of it."I didn't like this one. I really wanted to but I just couldn't."
Why don't you like it?"
No world building, insta-love, characters were not developed well enough for me. Plus the MC does things that are out of character with what I would think her to do.

Why don't ..."
I agree on undeveloped character, insta love and lack of world building. But it kept me on my toes. So I liked it.
As a reader I learnt some truths the hard way;that YA has imperfections and some are full with it; that I must read my way through the imperfect ones to reach the best ones; that I must be patient and that there is the chance that what someone hates, I might like.

Mod

All very true. I liked it enough in the end that I might read the next one. Unfortunately, what I'm finding lately, is less "good" stuff and more "trash" when it comes to YA. I'm trying to stick to those authors I know and also taking my recommendations for reading from them and my trusted friends. Although, I did that last week and ended up DNFing a book, so even that's not tried and true!

It's on my mind Tracy. Has been since I finished it yesterday.
Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I just finished and OMG. Just beautiful. It made my heart both weep and sing at the sa..."I love books that push the envelope and make you think. This one is definitely one of them. In the end you can understand the choices and arguments made. Very powerful story and so beautifully written.
Well, since I was dwelling in
I decided to start
and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I'm about 30% into the story and it starts out with a kick to the gut so more soul weeping for me. Been looking forward to reading this one too. I also plan on starting
for our weekly RC.

i love reading the authors i know and love but i also get paranoid that i will miss them after the book is over. currently i am holding out on 20 of favorite authors.:(
as of now all i want at least to like a book if not love to pieces.
Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I just finished and OMG. Just beautiful. It made my heart both weep and sing at the same..."Yes Donna, it's amazing. It's such a worthy read.

It's a dnf for me. I can't do it. Great writing, but like Tracy said, the subject matter is.... so, yeah.
Read
. I love Nyrae Dawn. . . looking forward to the rest of this series

I'm so glad you liked it. This one will stay with me for a while too.
I started
a few days ago. The writing is good and pulls you in but sometimes the things that happen to the characters just leave me a bit put off. I think I'm just chugging through it hoping for a happy outcome for Clair and Jamie cause I like those two characters.

Just finished
this series. Ok not great, sexy black wings and black eyes will prob have me reading the next series. But really need some kickass female warrior romance after this. Any suggestions? I've read divergent loved it. TIA :)

for kick-ass heroines.

Definitely Teresa. This is a very thought provoking book. It makes you stop and contemplate all of the blessings we have and to remember to be thankful for the million tiny things we take for granted every single day. This one is going to stay with me for a very long time.
Was sent an ARC of
- really loving it so far!
Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I just finished and OMG. Just beautiful. It made my heart..."The author did an outstanding job with the characters and how well she presented this moral dilemma Tracy.

Sylvia wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Well, since I was dwelling in I decided to start and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I'm abou..."Yeah I'm about a third way through
and really liking the story and the writing. I do enjoy Rachel Higginson's writing. Although I'm still in the sad part of the story so by the time I get to the happy part (oh goodness please let there be a happy part LOL!) it should help me work out some of my book sadness. Hopefully.
I'm also a third of the way through
and it's interesting so far.
